The Sermon on the Mount is one of the most influential portions of
the Bible. It is the most studied and commented upon portion of the Christian
Scriptures, with every Christian generation turning to it for insight and
guidance.

In this volume, a recognized expert on the Gospels shows that
the Sermon on the Mount offers a clear window into understanding God's work in
Christ. Jonathan Pennington provides a historical, theological, and literary
commentary on the Sermon and explains how this text offers insight into God's
plan for human flourishing. As Pennington explores the literary dimensions and
theological themes of this famous passage, he situates the Sermon in dialogue
with the Jewish and Greek virtue traditions and the philosophical-theological
question of human flourishing. He also relates the Sermon's theological themes
to contemporary issues such as ethics, philosophy, and
economics.
